Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is widely recognized as the premier training center in the New England area for authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Boston BJJ Academy was founded in 1995 by Roberto Maia, 5th-degree black belt under Carlos Gracie, Jr. The Academy traces its roots directly back to the original Gracie Barra academy located in Barra da Tijuca, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Gracie Barra is owned and operated by Master Carlos Gracie Jr., the son of Carlos Gracie, the late founder of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Jimmy DelOrfano, 1st-degree black belt under Roberto Maia, opened Boston BJJ Woburn in 2013.
